Well, after last Friday evening, Kieran is now suffering from PTHHWD (Post Traumatic Horton Hears a Who Disorder). I mean, it sounded like a great plan and all, watch a fun movie with the family, enjoy some Jim Carey humor, and call it a night. Who would have guessed that a movie about a civilization floating around inside a screaming speck on the brink of destruction, rescued by a bumbling elephant who subsequently receives death threats from the other forest inhabitants (including a buzzard that threatens to rip the flesh from his bones), would have given a two year old pause? Live and learn I guess...
All ended well, though we had to take a couple movie breaks to regain our composure. I did notice that during a couple "scary scenes," there was a progression of toddlers and parents heading for the exit door! I must say, though, it was a great movie, and Kieran is now able to laugh at the memory of Horton the elephant (and sing full voice with daddy the end song "I can't fight this feeling anymore").
Here is a YouTube clip of the last scene, which was hilarious!
